Answer:
False
Explanation:
The potential energy of a body increases by increasing the distance or elevation from a reference level (ground). This energy can be easily calculated by means of the following equation.
[tex]E_{pot}=m*g*h[/tex]
where:
m = mass [kg]
g = gravity acceleration [m/s²]
h = elevation [m]
As we can see the potential energy is proportional to height, that is, as the body increases its elevation, its potential energy increases.
